Blindness

This film's premise: bad things happen when a group of quarantined people, all of whom have been stricken with a form of white blindness, decide to to engage in horrific acts for their own amusement and show of power over the other groups of blind people, even though it's all these blind people being bad to other blind people? Wha? The premise is even dumber because one of the people quarantined isn't even blind (Julianne Moore's character), but follows her husband to this quarantine hellhole. I kept asking myself, if I were sighted amongst a group of blind people, why wouldn't I exploit that advantage when groups of them decide to act like true a-holes? It was aggravating to watch, and the horrific scenes were just mindnumbingly written to get from A to B when a sighted woman could have done so much to the a-holes if she had half a brain. There isn't any real moral that can be readily gleamed from the story of the film, and it just stumbled badly to its conclusion.

I still can't believe Fernando Meirelles thought this was a story worthy of his directorial attention.

I give it 1.75 stars, or a grade of D+.
